You’re paying Airbnb
$20,000+ a year.
And getting nothing back.
Every booking through an OTA costs you 15-20% in fees, plus your guest’s contact details, your brand, and any chance of a direct relationship.
Everything. Built. Ready to take bookings.
Not a template. Not a DIY page builder. A custom-built, STR-specific booking site engineered to convert visitors into direct guests.
From first call to fully live, in 30 days.

- Market & competitor review
- Design direction discussion
- Timeline & next steps confirmed
Not another DIY website builder.
Squarespace, Wix, and Lodgify are built for everyone, which means they’re built for no one in particular. We build exclusively for vacation rental operators.
Numbers from real properties.
Questions we always get.
Pricing is custom, it depends on your property, the scope of the build, and any additional integrations you need. We don’t publish a fixed price because a single-cabin site is a different project from a multi-property management portal. Book a free call and we’ll give you a clear quote within 24 hours, no surprises.
That’s entirely your choice. Many of our clients run both, using Airbnb for discovery while actively pushing repeat guests and direct inquiries to their own site. Over time, as your direct booking pipeline grows, your dependency on OTAs naturally decreases. We can help you build a strategy for the transition.
Perfect, that’s actually our favourite kind of project. You don’t need to come in with a brief or a reference site. We’ll ask you about your property, your guests, and the feeling you want to create, then we’ll bring the creative direction. You just approve and give feedback.
Minimal. The main touchpoints are the initial discovery call, a design review, and a pre-launch check. In between, we handle everything and we’ll reach out only when we genuinely need your input or approval. Most clients are surprised by how little they had to do.
No. Post-launch support is included, and if you’re on one of our monthly plans, your dedicated KIN account manager handles ongoing updates, optimisations, and any changes you need. We’re not a build-and-disappear agency.
Three things: expertise, time, and results. Building it yourself takes weeks of your time, and the result is a generic site with basic SEO and a booking widget that isn’t optimised for conversions. We build sites specifically designed to convert vacation rental guests, rank on Google, and integrate properly with payment systems, backed by a team that does this every day.
Yes, your booking calendar syncs two-way with Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook via iCal. When a guest books on any platform, the dates block across all of them automatically. No double bookings, no manual calendar management.
Your site supports credit and debit card payments via Stripe, PayPal, direct bank transfer, and pay-on-arrival for guests who prefer to settle in person. Deposit payments are supported, you can take a percentage upfront and collect the balance automatically before check-in. Google Pay and Apple Pay are available as an extended option.
Absolutely. Your admin dashboard lets you add manual reservations at any time, just enter the guest details, dates, and payment status. These block the calendar across all synced platforms the same way an online booking would, so your availability stays accurate everywhere. The same dashboard lets you block off dates for maintenance, see a real-time earnings overview, and export booking reports whenever you need them for accounting.
Yes. If your property has multiple bookable units, a main house and a guest cottage, or several rooms, guests can reserve them together in a single checkout instead of booking separately.
Yes. You can set automatic discounted rates for weekly or monthly stays, on top of any percentage or early-bird coupons you want to run, no manual price changes needed as bookings come in.
Yes, we can add a currency switcher so international guests can view prices in their own currency for easier comparison. Checkout itself still charges in your site’s base currency; the switcher is a convenience display, not a multi-currency payment system.
“We were handing Airbnb and VRBO a cut of every single booking. Now 75% of our reservations come straight through our own site, that’s over $42,000 a year staying in our pocket instead of theirs.”
